Wondering why that MOD you have won't install correctly? Let's take a look

Forum rulesDO NOT give out any FTP passwords to anyone! There is no reason to do so! If you need help badly enough, create a temporary FTP account that is restricted to only the files that you need help with and give the information for that. Giving out FTP information can be very dangerous!

i installed attachment mod v2.4.5 recently. and everything went successfully, and i changed all required files according to install.txt file. But, after installation, i am unable to upload the files from the site, even i am unable to see any information about attachements in the site except browse option and text area option and one submit button, even these are just plain, no names on them like button with out value on it.

and when i specified a file and hit the button, the page refreshes to the same existing page.

if u want to look at the forum u can get here. wwww.admincommunity.com

your site is exremely slow to load. this might have something to do with it.

however, those types of problems are usually because you either have not done all the edits,
have not done them properly, and/or have not uploaded all the files.

go back through the install and make sure you did the edits to all the files.

make sure you uploaded all the files.

if you are using anything other than a real ftp program to upload/download files, stop.

get filezilla or some other ftp program or you will never get things like this to work.

How could we redirect the guests to the login page when they want to download the attachments.if they are users they can download it .But they arent users they will redirect the login page ..After they login the site also could download attachments.

I think that is standard behaviour. I don't believe that guests can download by default.

I was about to rant & rave that twice I had installed the EM Attachment Mod on two different forums, and that no matter what no-one but the Admin could see the 'Add an Attachment' at the bottom of posting

Then in a moment of clarity I checked and discovered that you have to give permissions to a forum to allow uploads!

So now all is well....

PS. Any reasons why the Attach Mod was not made EM compatible 'officially''??

most MODs that you get from phpbb will work with easymod. however, if you have other MODs installed, then there is a chance that it won't. all MODs have to work on a plain vanilla install of phpbb using subSilver.
If your setup is anything other than that, then you run the risk of a MOD not installing properly using easymod.
